Hi all,
I have recently installed Oracle 10g in my laptop.
When I issue SELECT * FROM tab, I get a list of tables which starts with 'BIN$'.
Can anyone let me know what are they? and how to get rid of them?

Perhaps this is another reason why the doc's have said for the last few releases "TAB is included for compatibility. Oracle recommends that you do not use this view." I remember that at one time, the docs said that it was only there for compatibility with release 5!
